The ruling stated that the Job Creation Law is still constitutionally valid until its formation is corrected. “The Government and the House of Representatives, as the lawmakers, are given a maximum of two years to make revisions or improvements. I have ordered the related Coordinating Ministers and Ministers to immediately carry out a follow-up plan on the Constitutional Court’s ruling,” the President said.

The President also highlighted the Government’s commitment to continue implementing the agenda of structural reforms, deregulation, and debureaucratization.
